Consul General Maria Lourdes Salcedo graced the milestone celebration attended by more than a hundred members and guests.<\/p><p>In her speech, she recalled that she first learned about the Filipinos in Shepparton who were contributing to the fruit orchards and processing industries as well as of a woman-achiever by the name of Edith Fitzsimmons, original proponent and founder of the Philippine House. She encouraged the Filipinos to apply for dual citizenship under RA 9225 to enjoy the benefits of being a Filipino citizen again.<\/p><p>According to the Ethnic Council of Shepparton (ECS), most Filipino arrivals before 2007 worked in the orchard industry, although they have had tertiary education. Thereafter, skilled migrants started arriving with their families mostly working in the dairy farms, automotive industry, fabrications and in health as nurses and doctors. In 2019, ECS estimated that there were 1,350 Filipinos in Shepparton, speaking mostly Tagalog and Visayan. FAFA provides support, camaraderie and social cohesion to members of the Filipino community.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8066a65 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8066a65\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/melbournepcg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pr-34-2022_01-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6650\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melbournepcg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pr-34-2022_01-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/melbournepcg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pr-34-2022_01-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/melbournepcg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pr-34-2022_01-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/melbournepcg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/pr-34-2022_01.jpg 1433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Consul General Salcedo and beauty icon Jossa Dalit joined the officers and members of FAFA led by Delma Broughton (6th in front row) and Tita Weatherall (7th from left) at the 40th anniversary celebration.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9aac712 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9aac712\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The following day, the guests from Melbourne visited the restored Philippine House at 45 Evergreen Way, standing proudly as the only remaining structure in the original International Village.
